Looks cool (pity about the music) - speaking of tribes has anyone played the new Tribes Ascend as yet? I'd be interested to hear from any of the old players if it lives up to the vibe of T1.

The game is free. Do you really need a recommendation to try it out?

It's spectacularly awesome, and comes with a hearty |o-bot| seal of approval ^_^

It's ok imo but not great. there are some major balance issues with bullet weapons for instance but the really annoying thing for me is that jets are only vertical, you cant strafe with jets like t1/t2.

Thanks Phants - I was aware it was free (as I don't actually have any money to spend on games these days) - I was just wondering if it was worth my while investigating if I can get it running our desktop machine or not. If it gets a stamp of approval I may try and find the time to see if I can get it running :-)

Man nostalgia is pretty much defining the gaming industry at the moment, something I'm both happy about and wary of at the same time.

Not sure how that's any cooler than Tribes....I mean i looks like Quake/UT gameplay to me in Tron gear.

Ok if the Crystal Method did all the music yeah it would be cool in that regard.

That looks intensely gay. Why would I want to go to so much effort waving my arms around to zoom in on google maps when I could just flick my finger on the mouse wheel?

That's a guard spider. You could put that on a leash and walk it around. Fuck. Imagine the splat (and crunch) it would make if you stood on it.

JUST LISTEN TO THE SOUND IT MAKES WHEN IT WALKS! LISTEN! HOLY FUCKEN SHIT!

Comicon - Awesome voice actors do the Star Wars script, in their signature characters.

Batman as the narrator, Bubbles from Power Puff Girls as Darth Vader, Pinky from Pinky and the Brain as the Stormtrooper.. You get the picture.

Speaking of Star Wars, George Lucas has promised to retire from Hollywood "to his "garage" and make small-scale, low-budget movies just for fun.

After fighting with studio executives to get his war movie Red Tails distributed in 2011, the filmmaker told film magazine Empire he's sick of the politics of Tinseltown and is retiring."


Well thank fuck for that. I'm not surprised he has trouble getting his movies distributed. The last movie he directed that was any good came out 35 years ago!

Surely you remember the subtle nuances and character progressions that he managed to extract from by the ensemble cast of "Howard the Duck"...

/edit - wait he only produced that one - so that explains it...
